Russsia’s Global fact checking network

In a bid to fight back against mass online disinformation, an increasing number of fact-checking outlets are cropping up online. Some are integrated into traditional newsrooms, while others are standalone entities.Although it may seem like a legitimate fact-checking website, boasting a clean aesthetic and a series of intriguing newsworthy headlines, its facade conceals a Kremlin-backed disinformation tool.The Global Fact-Checking Network’s name is very similar to that of the well-established International Fact-Checking Network  a reputable consortium of international fact-checkers. The fact that this name is so similar is unlikely to be a coincidence and more likely an effort to feign credibility. Do you think that the system is trying to silence the opposition ?
